  •  
    Apportunities with iPads is a forum originally designed for 20 teachers and parents in the state of Minnesota who are involved in an iPad Project with children who have deaf-blindness. The intent of this forum is to establish a tool that will allow teachers and parents within this project to connect and share experiences about the use of the iPad as an instructional tool with this population of learners. The broader intent of this forum is to weave together the ever-changing face of app use within the field of special education and students with severe and multiple disabilities.

iSocial | 3D Virtual Learning: Helping youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders develop soc... - 0 views

  •  
    Youth identified with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have deficits in social competence that can lead to problematic social behavior and social isolation. This can lead to a lower quality of life, as well as deficits in other developmental areas such as language and cognition. The iSocial project undertakes research and development to test and advance a set of principles and methods to enable and enhance social interaction for individuals with ASD. The long term aims of the project are to implement a virtual world that supports positive social interaction, enables learning of social competence with transfer to other settings, enables learning of other academic and workforce preparation subjects for youth with social deficits, and supports a community of educators, parents and youth as they address the needs of youth with ASD.

All children can benefit from this app, including those who have ASD, ADD/ADHD, speech and language impairments and intellectual impairments.

An Introduction to a Tool You Must Have! Supporting Students With Disabilities in Inclu... - 9 views

  • Lately I have been working with a number of parents and schools during this busy time of year, when IEPs are needing to be revisited and plans for next year put in place for kids with disabilities (take a minute to read my posts about IEPs for some ideas of where to begin and important things to think about during this very necessary, and hopefully meaningful, process). During the conversations I have been having lately, it dawned on me that when people are planning for next year and thinking about what did or didn’t work well this year, the use of paraprofessionals to support kids with disabilities is a central issue that can make or break a student’s success. IEPs that include paraprofessionals must consider quality professional development and the time to do that development effectively for paraprofessionals. Now is the time to start thinking about how that can look, and planning when it will happen. I have a great resource to offer.
